Silver hairbrush, Wilhelm Binder?

Hi!

Here’s a lovely hairbrush of unknown origin.

I can’t find information on WTP, but perhaps the P can be a poorly struck B, that would mean that this surely must be a piece that’s been retailed by Wilhelm Binder, Germany?

Help appreciated.

Hi Dandelion,

I concur with it being Wilhelm Binders mark. The centre T is very distinctive leaving no doubt in my mind. I have seen the poorly struck B on several occasions now and wonder if possibly a damaged punch was used for a period, or if it is merely the result of the curved surface and the last part of the stamp having difficulty gaining traction?

Cheers,
Steve

Hi,
Right,Wilhelm Binder.The centre T is actually a hammer.
